英译汉

For most Americans, they choose to travel either within the United States or to other countries. American major cities, as most popular tourist attractions, offer much for tourists to see. However, camping in a rural area or in a quiet valley has become extremely attractive recently.

And we can’t turn a blind eye to the fact that Europe’s theme park playground has emerged as a new hot destination for entertainment. Nearly 160 million people a year go to amusement parks in Europe and a recent survey found that nearly half of them are adults who go there without children.

答 案

英译汉：

对大多数美国人来说，他们喜欢在国内或国外旅游。作为人们旅游的热点，美国的大城市确实让游客们大饱眼福，然而，近来在郊外或在宁静的山谷中野营也显得极富吸引力。

我们不能忽视这样一个事实：欧洲的主题公园已成为人们游乐的新宠。每年约有1.6亿人光顾欧洲的游乐场。最近的调查表明，几乎半数的游客是没有带小孩同行的成年人。
